Fair play to our fans for wading in and defending the lad/lads who were grabbed or hit down the front. Far too often you see jobsworth stewards or coppers drag fans away for doing very little whilst their fellow fans stand and watch. Our fans were rightly angry after that refereeing display, not just the goal decision but all game he wound our fans up. Frustrations spilled over at the end and the stewards antagonised and made the situation worse.
There seem to be a fair few dickheads in the crowd. The police reaction was way over the top, though. No excuse for hitting someone who is offering no resistance over and over. I hope that baton-wielding coward loses his job. They're supposed to keep supporters safe, not injure them.
Please don't link to that site. There's plenty of footage of these incidents elsewhere.

Ironic that a man with the surname “Friend” can cause so much chaos
